About Demyan Lantukh
Turning complex problems into compelling technical solutions.Bringing together expertise in physics, math, optimization, and software is my specialty. Whether it\'s saving a satellite on-orbit or developing a new algorithm for electric propulsion transfers or creating digital threads for space network analysis, I\'ve brought the problem-solving skills and led engineering teams to take on some of the most challenging problems in aerospace.I\'ve worked through project formulation, conceptual design, implementation and review, and operations for space vehicles. I have deep expertise in real engineering software, having architected and built two novel software products from the ground up, as well as architecting simulation frameworks based on commercial tools. I\'m constantly looking to improve our methods and processes, improving the work flow and deliveries of my teamPublications on ResearchGate: the day job, I love adventure, seeking new and meaningful experiences. This has taken the form of religious studies and experiences, specifically following the teachings of Jesus the Christ.This pursuit has also manifested as adventure trip planning, implementation, and leadership - including group backpacking, international travel, sailing, and flexible itinerary development.More words for the robots: spacecraft & launch vehicle mission analysis, trajectory design, and maneuver planning; low-thrust and highly perturbed trajectories; hypersonic trajectories; space domain awareness; numerical optimization; spacecraft conceptual design; modeling and simulation; network simulation; resilient networks; efficient algorithms and software development; averaged and long-term dynamics; project formulation and management; space business development;
